View submission: Liverpool owners won’t sell club to ‘interested’ Elon Musk

He's not even an actual government official. The President can't just name a new department, Congress has to do that, and then it would have to confirm Musk. For now, he and his "department" are just unofficial advisors.

Yeah, he's as much a governmental official in the US as he is in the UK, where he seems to have ramped up operations against Starmer.
